Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and bring you into the present moment, which is where the animal lives all the time - surrendered to life.

Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and bring you into the present moment, which is where the animal lives all the time - surrendered to life.

Animal, Mind, Moments

The ego is a false sense based on mental concepts. It is identification with the body and the mind-primarily identification with thought form.

Ego, Mind, Body

Neither failure nor success has the power to change your inner state of Being.

Silence is Golden; it has divine power and immense energy. Try to pay more attention to the silence than to the sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: the mind becomes still. Every sound is born out of silence, dies back into silence, and during its life span is surrounded by silence. Silence enables the sound to be. It is an intrinsic but unmanifested part of every sound, every musical note, every song, and every word. The unmanifested is present in this world as silence. All you have to do is pay attention to it.

Song, Silence, Musical

When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form.

Self, Names, Meditation

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.3, New World Library

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present.

Negativity, Denial, Power Of Now

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.61, New World Library

The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.

Believe, Thinking, Steps

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.18, New World Library

Through the present moment, you have access to the power of life itself, that which has traditionally been called "God." As soon as you turn away from it, God ceases to be a reality in your life, and all you are left with is the mental concept of God, which some people believe in and others deny. Even belief in God is only a poor substitute for the living reality of God manifesting every moment of your life.

Inspirational, Life, God

Be present as the watcher of your mind - of your thoughts and emotions as well as your reactions in various situations. Be at least as interested in your reactions as in the situation or person that causes you to react.

Mind, Causes, Emotion

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.55, New World Library

To me, inner and outer are so strongly linked that any collective change that happens within human beings, within the human psyche, inevitably will be reflected externally in what happens on the whole planet.

The decision to make the present moment into your friend is the end of ego.

Friends, Decision, Ego

Eckhart Tolle (2006). “A New Earth (Oprah #61): Awakening to Your Life's Purpose”, p.127, Penguin

An amazing realization is in the present moment there is only what is, but there are no problems. And if your attention remains in the Now, you no longer inhabit a world of problems. Challenges you may still face, but they come to you in the space of Now.

Space, Challenges, Attention

FaceBook post by Eckhart Tolle from Jun 01, 2010

By watching the mechanics of the mind, you step out of its resistance patterns, and you can then allow the present moment to be.

Live In The Moment, Mind, Patterns

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.35, New World Library

Even within the seemingly most unacceptable and painful situation is concealed a deeper good, and within every disaster is contained the seed of grace.

Grace, Painful Situations, Disaster

Eckhart Tolle (2003). “Stillness Speaks”, p.70, New World Library

I sometimes say animals are closer to God than humans. They are closer to the source. The humans are more lost in the mind forms. Being is more obscured to the human because of the overlay of ego and mental formation.

True listening is another way of bringing stillness into the relationship. When you truly listen to someone, the dimension of stillness arises and becomes an essential part of the relationship.

Listening, Essentials, Way

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “Stillness Speaks”, p.94, New World Library

There's something in everybody that longs for that awakening to be more true to yourself.

Awakening, True To Yourself

Enlightenment means choosing to dwell in a state of presence rather than in time. It means saying yes to what is.

Mean, Enlightenment, Saying Yes

Eckhart Tolle (2010). “The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment”, p.226, New World Library

But there's a shift happening in humanity, a shift in consciousness, happening now because it has to happen now.

Humanity, Consciousness, Happens

Evil is an extreme manifestation of human unconsciousness.

Although all spiritual teachings originate from the same Source, once they become verbalized and written down they are obviously no more than a collection of words-and a word is nothing more than a signpost.

The more suffering you create, the more suffering comes to you.

Occasionally people would come to me. I was sitting with a woman one day and she was telling me her story and I was in a state of listening, a state of bliss as I was listening to the drama of her story, and suddenly she stopped talking and said, "Oh, you are doing healing."

I enjoy going to Starbucks, having a cup of coffee, sitting in my car, driving from here to there, sitting at home looking at the trees, going for a walk with a dog. It's all very enjoyable.

The predominance of mind is no more than a stage in the evolution of consciousness. We need to go on to the next stage now as a matter of urgency; otherwise, we will be destroyed by the mind, which has grown into a monster.

Mind, Monsters, Needs
